It's more of an experiment really. I don't use a mobile much but I have to have one. It has to have good reception, good call quality and be reliable. Don't care about the other "waste of time" features.

As far as broadband is concerned this is the bigger risk. I currently used about 5Gig a month. The Orange (Wanadoo) cap for the free package is 2Gig. Apparently this is flexible. We'll see. The worst that that will happen (apart from it not working at all) is I'll be asked to upgrade to their unlimited package which is £10 per month. This will still result in a reduction of my overall spend by 50%

The T&C on orange talk about them replacing your existing contract with a new one - has anyone had confirmation that this won't invalidate cashbac?

I just phoned orange - thay said that if you phone them within a few days of the contract starting they wont need to start a new contract.

However, ads good as this bargain is, there seem to be just toop many things that can go wrong...

1.the mobile phone vender could go bust

2.orange could withdraw the broadband offer before you get chance to sign up to the free broadband.

3.you may be forced to sign up to a new contract, allowing the vender to not give you the cash back (the person I spoke to didnt seem to know what they were talking about to be honest)

4.orange could deny you the free broad band as you have already had a special offer with the cashback

I know that each of these possibilites is unlikely, £30 a month for 18 months is a lot to gamble. I think Ill leave it a while and see how someone else gets on first - sounds too good to be true so it probably is!

If you go for a cashback offer then you have to contact Orange to get the broadband. They then re-start your acontracts. This means that your cashback is likely to be rendered invalid.
